Chapter 119 Silent Competition (Additional update 2 for the boss Qiu Ge)
Tianyi’s “Dark Guardian” and Fang Cheng’s “Dark Builder” were released at almost the same time.
The only difference is that there is a menacing figure, wearing a yellow robe, surrounded by stars holding the moon, like a son of destiny, coming with infinite power.
A large number of anchors recommended it. The trolls disguised as black men and the trolls disguised as die-hard fans started fights wherever they could, using various topics to make the game more popular.
"Dark Guardian" claims to be a paid deletion test, and it is only a first test. However, judging from its final performance, its first test has already reached the level of three or even four tests of other games.
The complete game system, self-looping game system, excellent art performance and 3D capabilities make this game a very good point for dissemination.
And its gameplay is also very unique. Multiplayer cooperation, construction and dark style are connected with each other, giving this game the ability to move into high-quality games.
In addition, the game data is interoperable across all platforms, including PC, Apple, and Android data, which demonstrates Tianyi’s ambition.
The background of large companies is so terrifying. Using a company-wide saturation approach to game development can sometimes lead to miracles.
Compared with "Dark Guardian", which spent a lot of money to promote, "Dark Builder" seems very simple.
It is silent, has no version number, is just a free game, and is not even on the steam platform.
The only official website only provided a download link, but the entire website was made very cool, giving Fang Cheng a strong sense of the future.
Although Squirrel No. 1 said that he had added many special functions to this webpage, such as using Fang Cheng’s magical skills to allow him to access it from various regions, such as being able to accommodate millions of people chatting online at the same time, Fang Cheng only verified whether the website It can be downloaded, and then it means that No. 1 has done a good job, making No. 1's tail stand up in excitement.
After telling Lao Wang that the game link could be released, Fang Cheng came to the office on time and watered his spiritual grass.
Although it is already winter, the air conditioner in the office is always on. Not only is the spirit grass not affected by the temperature, but it becomes more and more fresh.
Looking at his tender green spiritual grass with satisfaction, Fang Cheng felt that his heart was filled with water, and his heart felt peaceful.
Looking up, he could still see the red dust fire of "Dark Builder" flashing. The light red flame symbolized cooperation and enthusiasm, and the increasingly strong flame showed that the players were immersed in it, and there were no strange colors for the time being.
After the official version was released, the red dust fire flashed even more vigorously. The feelings players got in the game were highly consistent with the feelings I wanted to give them, which made Fang Cheng feel extremely warm.
"Boss, you looked at the leeks and giggled again."
Xu Qingling took off the scarf and put it on the shelf while saying to Fang Cheng.
"You don't understand how good Lingcao is."
"Yeah, boss No. 24, are you free? I'll show you the game arcade in the mall. There are a lot of things there and it's fun." "
I beat that guy from the West before . , although I don’t know where he is now, but if he knows that I have been to his anniversary, he should be nervous."
Xu Qingling thought for a while, and then asked doubtfully: "Boss, you and the priest Have you ever had a fight?"
"To a certain extent, yes." "
Then boss, you are quite wild. Call me next time you fight. I am very good at calling 666."
"Next time, definitely."
Chatting with Xu Qingling After chatting about the company's recent situation, Fang Cheng returned to his seat after officially going to work.
Monkey's program has been recorded and will be officially broadcast after the year. Although he said that the results of the competition will be kept secret, everyone will know what the result is this time when they see the championship trophy he placed on the table.
Since he has been absent for almost a month, he has a lot to make up for during this time.
During the lunch break, when he was about to ask Huang Ping a question, he found that Huang Ping and Xiaodouzi's movements were highly consistent.
They opened the same website together, found the same game on the cool website, and then decisively chose to download and start playing.
Approaching Huang Ping, Monkey discovered that this was actually a pixel style game called "Dark Builder".
After watching it for a while, he couldn't help scratching his chin, and his face came closer and closer, almost touching the screen.
Huang Ping didn't know how to stop the opponent, but began to look at the screen tilted, getting closer and closer.
After a wave of defensive failures, Huang Ping couldn't help but sigh, but when he saw that his wave number exceeded forty, he immediately started to draw magic weapons happily, and looked at the special effects of the two newly obtained magic weapons and started to think.
"The Taotie Teeth can devour shadows to increase strength, but the side effect is that they randomly enter the Taotie state, and then eat regardless of the occasion. It would be great if there was a Hungry Ghost Sword. The Hungry State can turn the shadow next to it into a hungry ghost, so that you can eat unlimitedly "
I think it's better to cooperate with the Death Grass." Xiaodouzi on the side also finished the round and said casually, "With the Death Grass, the worse the character's status is, the higher his attributes will be. This way, he can cooperate with the Undertide. , you can eat very fat without dying in one wave."
"I think it is better to cooperate with the gluttonous insect." Fang Cheng added with a smile, "I think the greedier you are, the higher the attributes, and the side effects of the gluttonous insect cancel each other out with the gluttonous teeth. , the two of them are a perfect match."
"That's it..." Huang Ping was thoughtful, but he soon realized a problem and asked quickly, "Are there gluttons in the game?"
"Oh, no. It's okay, I'll add it now... I have it."
After adding it, Fang Cheng was about to continue talking about the magic weapons in the game, when he found Huang Ping looking at him in surprise.
After a moment, Huang Ping asked doubtfully: "Boss, what did you mean when you just said you can add...?"
"It doesn't mean anything. I made the game myself and I can add it if I want. Oh, I never said that before, because I don’t think it’s necessary, I am also a living immortal.”
Covering his head, Huang Ping felt his brain buzzing, and it took him a long time to accept a fact that he didn’t really want to accept.
Two of the game producers I admired suddenly lost one.
He definitely did not doubt that Fang Cheng was lying, because there was no need to lie about this kind of thing.
And boss...
do you secretly work overtime every day?
It took him a long time to accept this fact. He turned to look at Xiaodouzi and found that he was not surprised at all and was even preparing to restart the game.
"Aren't you surprised?" Huang Ping asked in a low voice, "The boss is the living immortal." "
I already knew it." Xiaodouzi said, "The boss's style is so obvious, you can see it by comparing several games. I was a little excited when I found out, but nothing happened after that."
"The themes are completely different, can you tell?"
"Game labels are always messy."
"That's true..."
After thinking for a while, Huang Ping I found that Xiaodouzi was right.
But then, he asked in confusion: "Then...why?"
"Some game producers also do this. Anyway, I know a few producers who have no money and then become butter producers. Because it is too embarrassing, they all remain anonymous. The vest thing is too common." "
I do that too . I know, but why is the boss?"
"To verify your own ideas. Some ideas are not convenient to verify with your own name, such as "Spreading Traditional Culture Starts with Me". It's not like the boss can do such a scary game It's made, so it's better to use a vest to test it."
Huang Ping could roughly figure out the reason, but it still felt a bit incredible.
But after thinking about it, I felt like it was nothing. The boss is free to do whatever he wants to do, and there is no need to report everything to him.
And no one says studio owners can't release games privately.
After thinking about it, Huang Ping decisively restarted a game of "Dark Builder", then showed his magic weapon and asked: "Boss, what magic weapon should I use better?" "
There is nothing valuable, just follow Xiaodouzi. Let's do it."
"...Okay."
Then, Huang Ping suddenly thought of a question and asked: "Boss, I won't ask you about playing games with vests, but Tianyi is obviously plagiarizing your game, so you just Don't you do something?"
After hearing this, Xu Qingling on the side started to get excited like a husky.
As long as Fang Cheng gives the order, she will transform into a lawsuit and sue Tianyi from top to bottom.
It doesn't matter if you lose the lawsuit, just find another reason to sue them again.
But Fang Cheng just shook his head: "It doesn't matter, just let them continue."
Xu Qingling lowered her head in disappointment.
Fang Cheng's calm look completely reassured Huang Ping.
I don't know why, but Fang Cheng's words have a special magic power that makes people feel at ease very easily.
The next day, the number of downloads of "Dark Guardian" across all platforms officially exceeded 5 million.
Free to download, with light payment, this game has gained a good reputation.
Today's big-name games are all about card-drawing, moba, and chicken-fighting. The homogeneous products have exhausted players, but the inertia of the game forces them to continue playing.
Fangcheng Studio's games are all good, but compared to the huge user demand, their games are too few.
And now, with the emergence of the beautifully crafted "Dark Guardian", these players have finally found a game worth investing their time in.
Thanks to Tianyi's overwhelming publicity, "Dark Guardian" quickly occupied the top spot on the sales list. The huge feedback made Kong Kong, who had been staring at the data, breathe a sigh of relief and put the development of subsequent versions on his schedule.
According to his past experience, any game with data that reaches "Dark Guardian" can be regarded as an S-level masterpiece among mobile games. Channels will be happy to promote this game and make it a continuous cash cow.
The profit trend continued for three days.
But on the fourth day, the income suddenly cut in half, and the upward trend was interrupted by lazy people, but Kong Kong could not see any problems with the data.
On the fourth day, profits rose by 30%, and Kongkong breathed a sigh of relief at the signs of recovery. However, on the fifth day, profits fell by half again.
He immediately asked the operation to transfer all the data. Kong Kong looked at the data carefully, but found no problem.
Asking the operation to quickly conduct a user survey, Kong Kong was shocked to find that the data had collapsed for two days in a row, and then entered a negative state.
Although it is no longer as scary as the curve that cuts in half, the daily decline is still a very torturous thing.
Especially when Kong Kong was sure that he had done nothing wrong, this invisible torture was even more painful.
Finally, the user survey done by the operation was completed.
I couldn't wait to open the user survey and saw thousands of questionnaires released by the operation team.
Moreover, for users, the operations team collected all statistics such as the user's age, gender, whether they have recharged, and whether they are still playing "Dark Guardian", and finally obtained an objective and detailed report.
The overall score of the game can reach 86 points. Although it is only a test, the quality of the game is amazing and the effect can indeed reach 86 points.
When asked about the shortcomings of this game, micro-play is its biggest shortcoming, and then there are too many development categories, which makes it feel like a PC game RPG, but other than that it's fine.
Overall, "Dark Guardian" has almost achieved its best, but it still has a very high player churn rate, which is really incredible.
A large number of players even left after recharging. Logically speaking, these players should have the highest stickiness, but they still left without looking back.
Looking at the results of the questionnaire, I was confused.
He couldn't figure out why the result was so ridiculous even though he had done everything to perfection.
Where did I go wrong?
Just when Kong Kong was confused, the operations director also sent another questionnaire.
[We conducted a questionnaire survey using the competing game "Dark Builder" as the theme. I feel like you might need this. 】
Staring at the document, Kong Kong didn’t dare to look at it.
He didn't know why, but he just felt that there was something lurking in this document that could break his heart and even make him afraid to play games again.
But he also knew that if he didn't look at it, he would never get over this hurdle.
The survey also compiled the opinions of approximately 1,000 players who have played "Dark Constructor".
At the beginning, I saw that the score of this game was only 72 points, which can only be regarded as good.
Players have complained a lot about this game.
[I don’t like the pixel style very much. It’s not as comfortable to play as 3D. ]
[There is no background music, only ambient sounds, and the ambient sounds are particularly scary]
[No novice guidance, bad review. If you develop too little, you won’t be able to make money, so you will get a bad review. 】
【Died in the undercurrent but didn’t have the function of being resurrected by watching ads, bad review. ]
[The magic weapon is not given a picture book, and I don't understand the combination method of the magic weapon at all. 】
One is a one-sided praise, and the other is a one-sided negative review, but Kong Kong has long known that players are creatures who can lie.
They will lie to everyone, but they will not lie to their own hearts.
These guys all played "Dark Guardian" for a while, and then decisively devoted themselves to "Dark Builder". The large amount of complaints does not seem to be a complaint about a game, it is more like an exhortation. .
“Baby, I didn’t do it well here, I’ll do it better next time.”
Ratings do not represent the true gameplay of a game. After all, people are easily attracted by the first impression, but what really makes them stay is them. of gameplay.
After reading the contents of the report, Kong Kong felt that his heart was broken.
He knew why he couldn't sit still and play a good game at this stage.
He is old.
